via a pull-down list, for instance. Data sources are global to the system and can be used across
variable data documents.
● XMPie Configuration: You can adjust the XMPie settings. However, changing these settings may
affect the ability of your users to submit variable products.
To manage data lists
1. Go to Administration | XMPie Variable Documents.
2. Click Manage Data List.
3. To add a new data list:
a. Click Add to open the Data List Values Editor page.
b. In the List Name field, type a name for the new data list.
c. In the List Description field, type a description of the data list.
d. Click Save.
e. Check Sort List Automatically to have the data list items display in the logical order
(alphabetical or numerical) for the type of data.
f. Click Add to add a value (e.g., an item in the data list, such as “January” in a data list of months
of the year) to the data list.
You can click the Import link to import a data list. For information on how to import
using the import utility, see To import company address books, media, data lists, string
overrides, or users .
g. Name: Type the name of the value you are adding to this data list in the name field.
h. Value: The value is a string that represents the data internally to the system.
This “value” is what is being sent to the XMPie engine. For instance, there is a default
“Yes/No” --> “True/False” that lets XMPie base its rules on “True/False” not on “Yes/No”
since “Yes/No” can be localized.
i. List Order: Specifies the rank order of the value in the data list (i.e., which position will it occupy
in a pull-down list).
j. Is No Value: Any data source value can be marked as Is No Value. This will require the buyer to
make a selection from the available options (e.g., in a pull-down list) rather than merely
accepting a default value if the field is marked as required. (The value must be either TRUE or
FALSE.)
4. Click Save.
Unless there is a known problem with a value, it is best to exercise extreme caution before
editing it because many XMPie template design rules might be using them and will thus be
affected.
